Hi Colm, the idea is to include such information (and more about new and old features) in the reference guide, which looks to me as the biggest effort remaining before 2.0.0 - and help is highly appreciated ;-) Once done, we will also need to discuss about reorganizing the wiki to coexist with it. Anyway, think about the case in which you have a "department" attribute for users - pulled by Active Directory for example. You can easily select HR or IT department users in a dynamic group (for propagation onto an external db) or in a dynamic role (for delegated administration via console). But this is just a bare sample, maybe others can come with more. AFAIR such feature originated from COS templates in Sun Directory Server.
